That's great! Can't wait, that's just a few hundred million seconds!

Tasker: I haven't used it, but I've seen useful automations over the years from people online and I would probably use a good FOSS alternative.

Active reload! I feel like reloading in general takes too long, so this helps alleviate that a bit; the fire rate bonus makes it even better, since when you're in a hurry to reload, you're probably in a hurry to shoot afterwards as well.

I used Aramex's shop&ship (both times), I found them from Courier Center's website.

The cost was a bit much, but nothing compared to the laptop itself (and also I really didn't want to buy yet another laptop that in a few years would be obsolete and unrepairable).

The laptop's order shipping was €70 and it took ~10 days after it arrived at their location. You can compare the shipping cost to/from various countries, my DIY package was 4.5kg

Edit: just a few days after making this comment, I received an email from Framework that they started shipping to Greece, among other countries!

Just leaving this here in case you don't know: there are also the Framework laptops, which are designed to be modular, upgradable, and have easy to buy replacement parts.

They even sell motherboards, so you can now get a e.g. Intel Core Ultra motherboard for your 3-4 year old laptop.

Of course It's a bit more expensive than a used 10 year old Thinkpad, but it kind of competes with other high end laptops, and it is cheaper especially when you consider it's designed to last more

(Not a sponsored post, just glad there is a company that makes such products, and that when I broke a part I could just go to their store and order a replacement instead of searching for serial numbers on random online stores etc like I've done before)
